“I’m gonna use the 9mm” Me: hm I must be watching the wrong type of video
Thank You so much for making this video. You answered all my questions with how to install the adapter and how the celestron 130slt telescope works with a camera attached.
Ooh, you've just given me some extra options, and a use for that middle tube. I was always running it prime because I couldn't get focus with the tube, but now I understand it's supposed to take an eyepiece... Thanks, been looking for a nice tutorial for this for ages!
Love how the clouds just faded the out, and fade in the moon. Beautiful...
Really helpful! Just got a 8", and I'm getting a camera on after this video. Thanks!
Thank you for the video, my roommate has an old DSLR that he isn't using and I just started taking photos of the moon. I got a phone adapter for it and was able to snap some good shots with it. Time to step up with a DSLR adapter :D
I have a 130 slt as well and for many years I've been using a barlow for prime focus no problem. The barlow I have screws directly to the T-ring, thus it pulls the focus in a little closer.
Thanks for sharing, it helped me a lot, a big hug from the Brazilian community,
I love the voice. Sounds Like Jesse "The Body" Ventura!!!!! Great info too!!!! what more do you want?
That's great! Have been considering buying one of these kits.
Love those ambient night sounds as well.
I should be getting my DSLR adapter pieces any day now and this is very helpful. Thanks.
enjoyed your Moon & Jupiter tour, nice narration.
Like wow, this is such a brilliant video, I'm a total new starter and you have helped me a great deal to understand this. Looks like I need a bunch of stuff! Thanks for your time and effort 👍
Thank you. I bet I've spent close to 200 bucks trying to get my D5100 to connect to my reflector. After watching your video it works!
Just bought a similar kit. Thanks so much from a star watcher who was three years in the future. 😋
Mr Plinkett, I loved your Phantom Menace review.
thanks to all who shared the videos lot of information for me it helps.
Great info thanks beautiful shot of the Moon BTW
Jesus Crust you literally made this totally understandable for me. All of these search videos don't do a justice the way you do with the camera and the telescope
Thank you for sharing I just ordered that adapter for my DSLR
Gave me a few ideas for my 4SE. I want to capture Jupiter with four moons tonight. Thanks for the info. 🙏👌👍
Great video man, very inspirational and also educated me a lot
Great vid bro thanks for sharing.
Good stuff man....love the variety you have been putting out lately.

Great shots! I just picked up camera adapter kit for my Newtonian telescope.
Great video man! You must have been a plumber in a past life, 'cause you have a real talent for putting these accessories together. Nice job. I'm also a fan of that KENKO 2X, I'll be using mine. Thank you for posting this. Kind regards!
Unfortunately not all telescopes have the 1.25 eyepiece adapter that unscrews to attach the extender tube or T-ring and you need to use the T adapter that you set aside or an extender tube with a wide 2 inch thread. Like for example the Dobsonian I use which is the Zhumell Z8 has a 2 inch focuser with the 1.25 adapter that goes inside. However that 1.25 adapter does not unscrew to attack a T-ring or extension tube like yours does so you will need that little 1.25 adapter ring that you set aside to be screwed into the extension tube and then into your telescope 1.25 focuser. If I want to attach that extension tube or T-ring directly to my scope, I need to use a 2 inch wide adapter since my 1.25 adapter does not screw together. Any celestron, Sky Watcher or Orion Xt series scopes comes with that type of 1.25 Adapter that unscrews to attach the camera prime. So when you watch this video, make sure your scope has that type of 1.25 focuser adapter that unscrews to attach items to it and make sure yours is not like mine witch does not unscrew but comes out leaving the 2 inch focuser threaded for attachments. :) As for shooting prime. On most all Newtonians you need to use a barlow lens or unless the scope has a short focal length.
Awesome video! I hope someday I'll buy this gear!
I just can't believe you ignored a power rangers call!

Very helpful! Got my hopes up man! Have a 12" Dob so I will try out your tips and methods! Going to be hard because don't have trackers. Nice video! God bless KZread!
Funny I actually sanded off about an inch of the focuser barrel just to get the DSLR closer and get it to focus, thinking the focusing tube was way too long. LoL!. Thank God I discovered this video I no longer have to so silly things with my precious telescope.
Thanks for the video tutorial, you've confirmed what I've been trying WILL work! My question is, does the distance from the eyepiece to the sensor matter, or is all focussing done simply by focussing the scope normally? I struggled to get an image on the camera as sharp as I could see it through the eyepiece? Im using a skywatcher 130 / 900 telescope. I tried running my fuji xt1 on the scope in prime and the image of saturn / jupiter is tiny. With a 2x barlow and a 18mm eyepiece in a similar setup to yours I found that the image is larger and brighter ( 1/3 sec ss vs 1/30 both @ iso 1600) but not very sharp at all. Cheers, Mark,
Great stuff. I want to do this same thing with my camera.
Two nights of messing around and I can't get it to focus. Then at 2:11 you blew my mind. I will be trying it tomorrow night.
I’m new to this and I still have a lot to learn, no idea what fx means but good to hear about some of the camera settings. I have the t-ring adapter and the piece to fit onto that and into the 2 inch focuser but no result able picture but I did notice how dirty my primary mirror was when I was lining up the scope on the moon and got that cleaned today.
thank you!!! I am going to try to photograph the ISS with my 8 inch reflector. this video is exactly what I needed.

How did they come out?
Great video. It really helped me get it right on my scope. You mentioned that the tracking was really good tracking that you took the scope apart and cleaned the gears. Do you do that often or can you do a video on how to do that? My mount started tracking bad when I add the weight of the camera, now I can't get it to align anymore. I was thinking maybe I should clean the gears.
Parabéns com telescópio "pequeno" e com sua experiência , imagens estupendas 👍
Very useful on the setup you have and how to mount it. But, what happened to Jupiter that you were going to show. Was that it, just a light blob?
Didn't know anything a week ago but after watching this I have my scope and the t ring turned up today and I'm just using the 2 inch barrel direct into prime. Now just need the weather to be on the same page as I am 😕
Awesome vid, thanks for sharing
Amazing video thank you so much for sharing it 🙏
Thanks for that. Very useful info.
Looks good man
grat thanks for your video i am looking for the 2 adaptators appear at 1mn49 no t ring no t2 these ones when you put into , the celestron 19mm Please thanks
Great views of the moon :)
Thanks for the info... looking at hooking my 150mm/1000mm Sky-Watcher Newtonian reflector up.
Beautiful
This is incredible thanks! what do you mean by DX format though?
Thnx , still feel like I’m rolling by the dice with the type of tele I need for my canon 5d. What about this one- Orion starblast telescope.??
Thank you so much! I tried this using the SLT130 & sony a6000 without the teleconverter and I wasn’t able to obtain focus. Im not sure if I have to get a telescope camera or a teleconverter
Good vid friend, can you send a link for the kit you bought? Thx
i just bought the celestron 114AZ-SR wondering if i would use the same kit you are referring to or where i could get this information as well as what nikon or sony cameras would attach with which adapters..cant find on their site?? great video thanks!!

amazing. thanks for sharing...
Awesome job. I tried to get my 450d through my son’s sw130p last night. Just couldn’t get a good focus and the exposure wasn’t all that good but I’ll keep trying.
Is it possible to take pictures of other galaxies and nebulas?
Are this suitable for any camera? Or just for the Nikon buddy
Great video! I have the Celestron 130 as well. The camera looks heavy, does the set up shake the scope or impact tracking?
Excellent!
How about focus point how do you adjust and also how do you fixed light pollution problem
I ordered that kit in your link but the didn't give me the piece that holds the lenses. Perhaps they've changed their model or sent me the wrong kit.
good edits
My dad has a nikon 3300 dslr and I have a 16 inch skywatcher, if I get the nikon t ring will it attach to that adapter set instead of the cannon t ring. Thanks for video
Just got this with the powerseeker 114 eq gonna try it tonight!
your video is explained very well thank you!!! but can you please tell me which t-ring and t-adapter would be for my panasonic dmc-fz35 so that it can fit my celestrong travel scope 70. thank you

+Hinu B about the only thing you can do is google a t ring for it. Or find mm thread size and type that in eBay or such. Say 48mm t ring adapter or something
that is brilliant
Good video. I just bought a SkyWatcher 102 refractor. I am trying to figure out the best way to connect my Canon M50. I bought this: Astromania Canon EOS-M T2 Mount Lens Adapter and M42 to 1.25" Telescope Adapter (T-Mount) for Canon EOS-M Camera System Telescope/Spotting Scope Accessories...but I am not having much luck. I can't get a clear focus.
Thank you for this. The link to the Amazon product is broken. Do you recall where you got that kit?
Make some metal detecting videos to...I enjoy those.
That is a slick trick! The only other way, will be to move the objective mirror forward by about two inches. Then you should not need any tricks to get prime focus. The only thing tho, you will need a two inch tube to get the eyepiece to work, or move the objective back two inches.
can you attach the camera without using the extension lens kit and only using the t-ring adapter ?
Can you please tell me exactly what set you bought. I already bought a set and I think it’s wrong. I can’t figure out how to attach the lens.
Can you link me the skywatcher 8” dob adapters for a eos cannon I searched everywhere! I couldn’t find any
Thanks for the great video. I would like to to something similar using a Sony a6000 (APS-C sized sensor). Is the Celestron 130STL your favourite telescope? Is it possible to get similar results with manual tracking, or would you recommend the motor tracking?

Hey did you manage to get Celestron 130STL hook up with Sony e-mount? I am trying the set up using prime straight to the telescope and I couldn't get the focus. Wondering if the adapter (inner/ outer tube) would work if I put the eyepiece in there.

@@NateWithWho I ended up getting a Celestron 127 SLT. You need a T-ring adapter and attach it to your camera. Remove the telescope eyepiece and put the camera/T-ring into the telescope where the eyepiece came out. You have to use the focus knob on the telescope to get the view in focus. It was amazing to see the moon close up for the first time, and get some good photos.

@@philnolan7193 I did that but the focus wasn't working for me. I just ordered the adapter tube so I can put the eyepiece into the tube and connect my camera to the tube instead.
If you find the right adapter for your camera and telescope, can you use those on absolutley any telescope? :)
Great info, thanks. I'm curious how are you keeping that image so stable? I've got the same 130SLT and it takes forever for it to settle down after its been touched.

Can you change the magnification of the Barlow lens as with the Eyepiece?
I’m new to this; can I use a Barlow lens instead of the teleconverter?
can you please send me link what to buy? from amazon? i am not sure if i am buying the correct items to do that... would be great if you can help me
Where did you buy your sleeves from? Thx!
Whaat type of Nikon camera use??
I got a question. Is the kit work for all telescopes?
Thanks
Cool bruh!
the pic at 8:08 would make a really good poster of the MOON🌚
Consider testing with a 2" barrel threaded into the t-ring. It will greatly improve light gained by the sensor and will only cost you roughly $10. Thanks for the reference on Eyepiece projection with this model. It's a popular telescope. Clear skies.

How to use DSLR with eypiece? It is possible? Or just with barlow lens?
That is, absolutely insane like I just recently got into astrophotography had a lot of my stuff from 2 years ago just never got into it but I have been taking photos of the moon with the svbony 105 digital lense thing, and yes thing meaning idk what the hell I'm on about, but like that was the crazy main reason I wanna use a camera is to both get a full view of the moon and planets and to see stars and the nebulae as the svbony 105 doesn't let me see any stars just planets and moons which on its own is crazy but I don't nearly get the detail like that like you can see the actual depth and height of the craters that's bloody insane
